Noreen McDonald, city and regional planning department chair at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will be giving the next Hyde lecture titled “Changing Technology, Changing Travel: Thinking About Our Transport Future.”

McDonald will explore the different technological advances which have given communities new ways to travel, shop and interact. The rapid appearance of new mobility options means the impacts on travel, safety and community design are poorly understood. But experts expect these impacts to be substantial. This talk will use health as a lens to explore these changes and identify opportunities to promote equitable mobility.

This presentation is part of the College of Architecture’s 2019-2020 Hyde Lecture Series featuring speakers from across disciplines that are united under the common theme of “OUR WORK / YOUR WORK - Designing and Planning For Political Engagement.”
